We want to see your spring photos. Send photos from last year, this year or 20 years ago. We'll run the photos on Saturdays in April. Here's how to get them in the paper:

 Write one to two sentences describing what's happening in the photo: who the people are, what they're doing, where they are and when the photo was taken.

 Identify every person in the photo, and double check that names are spelled correctly.

 E-mail the photo as a jpg attachment at high resolution to heather.daniel@lubbock-online.com. Put "Easter Photos" in the subject line. Or mail it to Heather Daniel, A-J, P.O. Box 491, Lubbock, TX 79408.
